Paul Koen is an ACC pastor and a credentialed chaplain. He is a Chaplain/NightWatch Team Leader for ChaplainWatch in Gladstone, a volunteer Chaplain & Welfare Ship-Visitor at Gladstone Seafarers Centre, an After Suicide Support worker, and a Community Chaplain. Paul has been working in the mining and refinery industry for many years and understands the people in his community.

He said, “One of my highlights as a Chaplain is to visit the seafarers onboard the cargo vessels and to spend time with the crew by listening, connecting, and giving support as they haven’t been home for months as they are not allowed to get offshore at any port in the world due to Covid restrictions. They often request prayer and to see their friendly smiles are priceless. This allows me to reach out to a bigger community that doesn’t have the privilege to attend a church service.”

Paul would love to connect with you in Central Queensland to enlarge, encourage and support your chaplaincy ministry.
